    All good except for the kitchen

    The worst part is the kitchen. I was there for two weeks and couldn't bring myself to cook there because of the constant bad smell. They don't open the windows, using the excuse that pigeons get in, and as far as I can remember, there's no extractor fan. If there are, they're either off or don't work properly, so it's as if they don't exist. They don't take out the garbage bags at night, so if you have to go get water late at night, be prepared to hold your breath. During the two weeks I was there, I decided to eat outside because, although it's very long, it's also narrow, so it's easy to bump into each other. The kitchen's cleanliness leaves a lot to be desired.

    Location: a 5 minutes walk to the train station and bus station Staff: always helpful, Recreational area: has a pool, plenty of tables and chairs to sit down and it's big and you can smoke, people playing music and having a drink

    I believe some smells could get minimalized by cleaning out ventilation and fixing leaking taps....

    Good location if you like being in the centre, but also means it’s noisy. Friendly staff, wifi actually works! Stayed twice; one room was great, the other time not soo good. Bathrooms are fairly clean

    Bathroom was out of order on the floor I was staying on, the bathroom that I did use I found that it took about 5 minutes of very slight adjustments to get the water to a comfortable showering temperature as it would either go very hot or completely cold suddenly. Floors are very creaky I felt bad moving around in my own room as there is basically no soundproofing, you can hear a conversation that two people are having clear as day a few doors down. Shoes scattered everywhere outside people's rooms, how they don't get stolen is a mystery to me.

    Good location lots of nice restaurants nearby. Affordable and good value. Friendly helpful staff.

    The kitchen is dirty and the fridges are full. The common toilets are not regularly cleaned. The noise at night from other guests is out control, even at 3 am I had to go and tell the reception about it but they never stoped, it's like sleeping in a bar with no security guards. I had a private room and was still was asked to bring the sheets down !

    The location. Luggage storage. The night staff are friendly ( males) . The seating area near the big window . The movie room. The high ceiling. Good for the Price. Lots of paper towels in the bathroom and the kitchen.

    The kitchen was terrible. There were hardly any plates and very little cutlery. I had to search the draining boards where things were drip drying to finds what I needed. Also, the floor was sticky. There were lots of fridges, which was good since the hostel is very big and the fridges were pretty full.

    The location was excellent. Also, my room was good.

    Two of the women's toilets were not working and the place just had a lot of stuff everywhere...granted there are over 100 people staying here. Didn't use the kitchen and wouldn't if I was there - dirty counters and dishes in the sink.

    Location was fabulous and the people that were staying there were nice. The outdoor area was a good communal area with a pool table.
